The news is that we are in a shifting market and many areas in Miami are already in buyer’s markets. Surfside is not one of those areas. Surfside remains a seller’s market with little inventory and high demand. Prices continue to appreciate, although at a slower pace.
The super luxury real estate market continues to move very slowly, but that happens to be a small part of Surfside’s sale inventory.
There were 38 Surfside homes sold in 2016 and 2 of those were waterfront. The average price per square foot is the big winner though.
